22.4 Nurse Call
The patient monitor provides a nurse call connector to output nurse call signal when a
userdefined alarm occurs. To obtain nurse call signal, use the nurse call cable (PN:
009-003116-00) we supply to connect the hospital nurse call system to the nurse call
connector of the monitor and then follow this procedure:
1. Select [Main Menu][Maintenance >>][User Maintenance >>]enter the
required password.
2. Select [Others >>] to access the [Others] menu.
3. Select [Nurse Call Setup >>] to change the nurse call settings as follows:
Select [Signal Type] and toggle between [Pulse] and [Continuous].
[Pulse]: the nurse call signals are pulse signals and each pulse lasts 1 second. When
multiple alarms occur simultaneously, only one pulse signal is outputted. If an
alarm occurs but the previous one is not cleared yet, a new pulse signal will also be
outputted.
[Continuous]: the nurse call signal lasts until the alarm ends, i.e. the duration of a
nurse call signal equals to that of the alarm condition.
Select [Contact Type] and toggle between [Normally Open] and [Normally Closed].
[Normally Open]: select if your hospital’s nurse call relay contact is normally
open.
[Normally Closed]: select if your hospital’s nurse call relay contact is normally
closed.
Select [Alm Lev] and set the alarm level for nurse call-triggering alarms.
Select [Alarm Cat.] and then select the category to which the nurse call-triggering
alarms belong.
Alarm conditions are indicated to nurses only when:
The nurse call system is enabled,
An alarm that meets your preset requirements occurs, and
The monitor is not in the alarm paused or reset status.
WARNING
z To obtain the nurse call signal, use the nurse call cable (PN: 009-003116-00) we
supply. Otherwise the nurse call function will not work and the monitor may be
damaged.
z Do not rely exclusively on the nurse call system for alarm notification. Remember
that the most reliable alarm notification combines audible and visual alarm
indications with the patient’s clinical condition.
